Friday Fitness with SV Therapy: Hip advice

TROCHANTERIC Bursitis is a common hip condition that causes pain over the outside of your thigh/buttock muscle. The cause for these symptoms is usually due to an injury to the soft tissues that lie over the upper aspect of the thigh bone. Try these helpful tips to ease your pain:

– Avoid long periods of sitting with legs crossed
– Avoid long periods of sitting with knees wide apart
– Avoid standing on one leg
– Avoid sitting in a low chair
– When climbing stairs or stepping up – step up with the unaffected leg first
